Recover Revenue on Healthcare Balances Under $500
Regulations for credit reporting healthcare accounts have changed in recent years. Credit reporting is no longer allowed for a full year after your healthcare accounts becomes delinquent, and accounts under $500 are no longer reportable.
But there are a few common misconceptions about the new regulations:
⊗ You can’t place your healthcare accounts under $500 in collections anymore. FALSE!
⊗ The new regulations say you cannot place accounts with a collection agency for a year. FALSE!
⊗ Regulations make placing your accounts with a collection agency no longer effective. FALSE!
⊗ Fortunately, IC System can help!
